With the appointment of Lisa LeClear as Crockett Elementary’s principal, Midland ISD has completed hiring all principals for the 2013-14 school year, Superintendent Ryder Warren said.

New principals have been assigned to 23 of the district’s 35 campuses and Warren said he is very confident with the district’s leadership.

“MISD has excellent leadership at each campus, and I am looking forward to the beginning of the school year as we get our kids back,” Warren said.

The majority of LeClear’s career has been at Bonham Elementary, where she most recently served as assistant principal.

“I’ve been at Bonham for several years and it really felt like my home as I’ve moved up the ranks as a teacher and then as an assistant principal. This position came open and it does feel like I’m leaving home, but I’m excited to lead at Crockett,” she said.

Jennifer Ruiz, Crockett’s former principal, has taken a position with the Region 18 Education Service Center, Warren said.

LeClear’s 10 years working in education have all been for Midland ISD.

“I’m looking forward to getting to know the students and teachers at Crockett and fitting into the campus culture that they have already established,” said LeClear, who holds a master’s in educational leadership from Lamar University.
